NEW YORK, Jan. 4, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Human growth hormone has long been used to treat certain medical conditions in children. New research from surgeon-scientists at Hospital for Special Surgery (HSS) shows that there may be a previously unknown complication.

Key Points: 
  • In children, human growth hormone therapy has been used for decades to treat growth hormone deficiency due to underlying medical conditions such as Turner syndrome, very small weight at birth, Prader-Willi syndrome and chronic renal insufficiency.
  • Given the volume of patients we treat, we were able to investigate the relationship between tibia growth plate fractures and growth hormone therapy in pediatric patients."
  • Therefore, the odds of taking growth hormone therapy were 15 times higher among patients with proximal tibia physeal avulsion fractures than the comparison group.
  • "Further research is required to tease out whether limiting specific high-impact sports will mitigate the risk of tibia growth plate fractures in active children and adolescents."
